I am just saying that Debian provides a very robust apt-get soution for =
free. I have no problem with RedHat making money, but charging money =
for updates seems weird to me. I know you can still update manually, =
but why charge for this new feature? I would gladly pay redhat for =
support, but not updates. I mean even M$ doesnt charge for NT service =
packs. Am I looking at this thing the right way? I am no businessman =
and I have nothing against companies like RedHat finding ways to make =
money and putting out pretty decent software. But this still rubs me =
the wrong way. Maybe someone could enlighten me. =20

Looks like RH 7.0 is going to make a stab at the whole apt-get idea =
in 7.0, but you have to pay for it? What is up with that?? One more =
reason for me to switch to Debian.
